Record locking - Integrating Access with Sharepoint List. Random records locked in linked SharePoint list. Using Access 2010 and SharePoint 2010 We have been using linked SharePoint list in an Access 2010 application for a few months now.

Random records locked in linked SharePoint list

We have been able to work through several issues and have been successful with the implementation of using Access to update records in the SharePoint list using VBA to iterate through recodsets. We have occasionally had a situation where one record in the SharePoint list would not let us update any fields using the same VBA code. Because this seemed to only affect one single record, when we had identified the record, we simply added code to exclude that one record. However, as of today, we suddenly are having this same issue with multiple, random records.

What is even more strange, is that the same records that we cannot write to from Access (directly in the lined table or through VBA) can be modified from the datasheet view in the SharePoint site.

Access 2010 And SharePoint – Welcome To The Hybrid Access Application « Dick Moffat's Excel and Access Blog

For the past 3 or so years I have kept hearing internally at MS about the Web story in what became Access 2010. The idea seemed to be that in order to sustain a future for Access it was necessary to “tie its can” to SharePoint’s bumper and offer itself as a somewhat functional database tool for lists and relatively small data requirements inside SharePoint. I always had trouble with that idea because I was concerned that by doing so they would marginalize the very community that Access needs to survive, namely the worldwide non-network of people using client-side Access (often secretly) to produce Departmental Solutions. But nonetheless I jumped on the bandwagon a couple of years ago. But in the background of all of this was with the expectation that Access 2010 would provide a far better story.
